◈ 219. Hyunjin (1)

Three years have passed.

The war that seemed like it would never end was finally coming to a halt.

The war, in which hundreds of millions of people were sacrificed, endlessly consumed not only the various war materials that humanity had accumulated over the years, but also manpower, funds, and resources.

Unlike previous world wars, there were no victors.

Everyone was left breathless and lost.

Even greedy dictators had to stop when they reached the end of their days, suffered an accident, or simply realized they could no longer continue waging war.

Of course, these were powerful people who did not want to lose their power even if the world completely disappeared.

There was a danger that one day, a war of greedy desires would break out again.

In any case, the war between the great powers is over.

Small wars and conflicts continued around the world, but the war that would completely destroy the Earth had stopped for now.

“The most nerve-wracking moment was when the nuclear launch took place.”

“That’s true. Because of that, all the points I had saved up were gone.”

“How much did you spend?”

“It’ll probably be a little under 50 trillion.”

“That’s amazing. But it was still cheap.”

It may have been a pretty cheap shot to stop dozens of nuclear weapons from hitting the ground with 50 trillion points.

Jincheol agreed with Jaewoo’s words that he had eaten cheaply.

It was a shame to use the points I had saved up to use in a situation where another disaster might strike, but thanks to that, I was able to collect quite a bit of level experience that had been lacking.

And finally, level 20 was reached.

“I can’t level up anymore.”

“I can’t run anymore anyway.”

Jincheol shrugged his head as he looked at Jaewoo, who was sitting in a wheelchair and unable to use one of his arms.

“Still, if you drink a glass of water, you can get about 100,000 points.”

“Can you become a millionaire just by drinking water?”

Jincheol chuckled at Jaewoo’s words.

“I’m thinking about participating in a disabled marathon this time.”

“Do you want to lose the use of both arms?”

“Whew! Is there nothing I can do about it now?”

“What did your sister-in-law say?”

“You should call her sister-in-law!”

“What about sister-in-law!”

Jincheol looked into the sad eyes of his wife, who had no choice but to accept the words of her best friend, Jaewoo.

It was a cruel and brutal fate.

But it seemed impossible to escape that fate even if I wanted to.

“Jae-woo.”

“why?”

“sorry.”

“I’m sorry. I had a hard time, but I still became incredibly rich and had a beautiful wife and daughter.”

“Please take care of the back.”

“okay.”

Jae-woo could also sense to some extent that something ominous was going to happen to his friend.

So Jincheol handed over his Cash Up account, which was no longer capable of leveling up, to his son, Hyeonjin.

And then Jincheol disappeared.

“Damn it. Is my very existence disappearing? Damn it! I can’t forget. This is a tough request.”

Jae-woo gritted his teeth and tried his best not to forget the existence of his best friend, realizing that he too was beginning to forget Jin-cheol’s existence.

Jincheol’s existence has disappeared.

Of course, the traces Jincheol had left behind still remained.

However, this does not mean that Jincheol’s existence and records themselves completely disappeared.

There were still some traces that could never disappear, and we were waiting for someone to find them.

The legacy left by Jincheol was passed down to Jincheol’s son, Hyeonjin.

Hyun-jin opened her eyes in a small one-room villa that she owned and got up, feeling her head heavy.

“Ouch! My head. What’s wrong? Huh! What did you do yesterday? Oh. Did you drink too much?”

Hyunjin woke up with a headache very similar to a hangover and stared blankly into the empty space of her empty studio apartment.

Hyunjin felt like she had forgotten something very precious that she should not forget, but soon shook her head.

I didn’t remember my father.

I didn’t remember my mother either.

Was an orphan.

No, I thought she was an orphan.

Since the stork couldn’t have come from somewhere, the biological parents had to be somewhere.

No, it must have been there.

But in her childhood, which was empty as if her memories had been ripped out, Hyunjin was worried about what to eat today.

Perhaps it was his parents’ legacy, but at least one villa building remained.

Even without working, I could live off of rent.

Of course, it is said that in the past, there was incomparable abundance compared to now.

“They say that in the past, if you ordered food with this smartphone, it would be delivered right away.”

Hyunjin looked at her smartphone.

There were several cutting-edge artifacts that had become lost technologies.

Of course, the technology was still the same.

No, technology has advanced even further.

It is simply because productivity and efficiency have declined that ordinary people cannot access it.

-Hyunjin, a new application has been installed.-

“Huh? What are you talking about? Jumong. A new app?”

Hyunjin was puzzled when Jumong, the artificial intelligence AI installed on his smartphone, told him that there was a newly installed app.

I don’t remember installing such an app.

-This is an unverified application called Cashup. It cannot be deleted.-

“It won’t delete? Oh! Delete it with administrator rights.”

Hyun-jin, who misunderstood that a hacking tool had been installed, ordered Jumong, an artificial intelligence AI, to delete it using his rights, but he had to hear the absurd news that it would not be deleted.

As artificial intelligence technology advances, very vicious hacking programs have also been created.

“Ha! Smartphones are expensive.”

Hyunjin was worried about whether she should change her smartphone because of the hacking program.

The smartphone you are using now is a high-performance smartphone that is hard to find these days.

Hyunjin couldn’t remember how he got this smartphone, but he couldn’t just throw it away for hacking.

So Hyunjin checked the applications installed on her smartphone.

“Cashup 2.0? What is this? Can I run this? Jumong?”

-No critical threats have been identified. There are no backdoors connected. However, source analysis of this app is beyond my capabilities.-

It was Jumong, an artificial intelligence AI with quite good performance.

It was strange that Jumong couldn’t analyze even one app.

Eventually I had to give it a try.

After much thought, Hyunjin launched an unknown application called Cashup 2.0.

Then, they were telling us that if we fulfill certain conditions, we can receive something called points, and that we can exchange those points for cash or use them to purchase items at their own point shop.

“What? Walking costs 0.1 won per step, and drinking water costs 50 won? Or are they points?”

-There used to be a service called the past pedometer app.-

“What is that?”

-This is an online service that gives points that can be redeemed for cash if you walk 10,000 steps a day, but it does not currently exist, in order to promote the health of citizens.-

“Health promotion?”

-Of course, it is a bait service that uses advertising fees and its own revenue model.-

“Well then, that’s true. But does this still work?”

Hyunjin walked while holding the smartphone with Cash Up activated.

Then, in Cash Up, for every step you take, 0.1 points go up.

It went up by 1 point shortly thereafter.

Of course, I couldn’t exchange 1 point for money.

“When can I exchange money? Hmm! There are other activities too.”

I found out that I could earn points not only through walking but also through a variety of other activities.

Just like her father had done in the past, Hyunjin collected points by drinking water and doing various exercises.

“Hey! What am I doing?”

But soon Hyunjin realized that collecting points was a foolish act.

Hyunjin was able to obtain 10 times more points than Jincheol.

But Hyunjin was less desperate than Jincheol.

Compared to Jincheol, who had to struggle to make a living, Hyunjin’s situation was a little better.

Despite this, Hyunjin was able to collect the minimum withdrawal criteria of ten thousand points in less than a day, even though she was doing her daily activities.

“Can I exchange money?”

Hyunjin exchanged the ten thousand points she had collected through Cash Up.

Then, surprisingly, he was able to confirm that ten thousand won had been deposited into his account.

“Really? Ten thousand won was really deposited!”

Hyunjin was very surprised when ten thousand won was deposited.

It wasn’t a world where you could buy everything you wanted just because you had money.

Of course, if you have a lot of money, it’s a different story, but if you want to buy something with money, you have to collect something called citizen points.

These citizen points had to be earned from the government through various productive activities.

Due to massive disasters and catastrophes, humanity had no choice but to adopt a different system from the past in order to survive.

Although democracy was still being pursued, a more solid class society was being established.

“Can this be exchanged for citizen points?”

Hyunjin became curious as to whether it was possible to exchange it for citizen points.

Since these citizen points were more important than money, Hyunjin actively performed the activities required by Cash Up that day to collect points and checked whether they could be exchanged for citizen points.

And I was excited when I confirmed that 10,000 points could be exchanged for 1 citizen point.

“Okay! Okay! It’s only 1 point, but you can still get citizen points!”

Hyunjin cheered as her citizen points increased, as there were differences in the areas she could enter and the items she could purchase depending on her citizen points.

Naturally, these citizen points were needed to go abroad.

Naturally, serving in the military would earn you citizen points, but the military was something that was best avoided if possible, past or present.

Fortunately, the risk of war on the Korean Peninsula was not that high, as the Qing Dynasty maintained a border with China across a huge maritime valley.

Moreover, since the current Republic of Korea was considered the most powerful country at least in Northeast Asia, the surrounding countries were not so bold as to provoke South Korea.

However, the situation in South Korea was not entirely bright.

Of course, for Hyun-jin, who was just a commoner, that was a good thing.

All I had to do was eat well and live well.

“Okay! Let’s collect the points!”

Hyunjin started actively collecting points.

As Jincheol repeated his actions and changed his surroundings to a more positive one, he began to accumulate experience points and level up.

Unlike Jincheol, Hyunjin did not run a marathon.

The marathon was not a very popular sport, and for some reason, Hyun-jin was reluctant to participate in it.

However, Hyunjin chose hiking instead of running a marathon because he knew that walking helps him gain a lot of points.

Hyunjin, who started climbing small mountains near her house, discovered that she could get extra points if she reached the top of the mountain.

This was also about 10 times the amount of points that Jincheol could obtain, so the amount of points Hyunjin could obtain was considerably large from the beginning.

And finally, as he reached level 2, Hyunjin began to be swept away by fate even faster.
